It never really gets dark here in the Arctic but in the soft silver light of the early morning five inflatable speedboats left the side of the Esperanza. They carried a delegation of eighteen activists and headed for the giant Leiv Eiriksson looming on the horizon.

Dodging the rig’s Danish navy guard, the team climbed on to the rig and headed for the accommodation deck. There they began looking for the drill manager in order to ask for the secret oil spill document.

To ensure the delegation reached the rig we moved the Esperanza to the limit of the 500m exclusion zone imposed by the Danish navy.

Despite repeated requests by Greenpeace and over 15,000 others, the rig’s operators Cairn Energy, have so far refused to publish the plan.

It’s pretty obvious why Cairn won’t tell the world how it would clean up a BP-style oil spill here in the Arctic, and that’s because it simply can’t be done.

Experts say the freezing temperatures and remote location mean a deep water blow-out here in the Arctic would be an irreversible disaster.

If they published the plan, the real risk to this pristine area, and the real risk of investing in such a reckless venture would be plain to see.

From Nuuk, Greenland

More mirage.

Santa Claus is said to come from Greenland and the North Pole and at every Christmas, writes thousands of children of the world hopeful to Nuuk, Greenland. But real life has, unfortunately, another more sinister face.
At every Christmas donating, buying the Greenlandic self-rule
sealskin from families so they at lesat have something to celebrate Christmas in one of the world's most expensive countries to live in. Knowing that each year seal skin can not be sold globally.
Greenland should not be a sympol on the world's conscience on the conservation of nature because of destruktonen of nature in Western countries.
Greenland should be allowed to develop themselves as countries of Scandinavia.

Cairn is flying in the face of decades of hard work aimed at preventing the wholesale abuse of the Arctic waters. If and when they cause an ecological disaster, they will be imposing their recklessness on the other nations as well as the original Arctic tribe, the Innu. I don't see how this will not become an international incident.
